Hi all..... please read this post. It is lengthy but I would appreciate any insight anyone has

I have alot of concerns for my sis who has cervical cancer. I've read about symptoms etc online and while it is very informative, alot of it doesn't cover her symptoms.

This post will go in detail and may be triggering. So feel free not to read.

She had regular smears when required but for some time had irregular bleeding. I mean a year or more and sometimes heavy. She put this down to maybe starting to go through change of life.

Then in December she was struggling to urinate so was fast tracked for scans and check ups. She has cancer in her cervix, vaginal walls, womb and now they are worried it has spread to the arteries.

They cannot operate due to the nature of the cancer so are starting her on radiotherapy to try and minimise more spreading.

She still cannot pee, and has to wear a catheter..and now is having troubles with bowel movements. She is having severe labour contraction pains where she then passes large lumps of fleshy tissue :( it is horrendous to hear she is going through this. She had to go into hospital for a blood transfusion yesterday.

I guess my concerns and worries are...for anyone who had cervical cancer or knows someone who has...to me this sounds so advanced and aggressive. What is her outlook and future going to be? She has 4 amazing children and I just feel so heartbroken for her and them. Please be open and honest with me, I need to prepare for this. 

I must add her son got diagnosed with esophageal cancer 2 years ago aswell, which is incurable but he is receiving chemo to try to avoid spreading. Their family have been through so much
